About the Competition
The Stritzler Competition is an annual event sponsored by the Dermatologic Society of Greater New York that invites residents to present their research to their peers and faculty. The presentations are evaluated by a panel of judges.
Eligibility

For second and third year residents, research conducted at the institution they are representing is preferred. Past winners are eligible if they are presenting a new research project. At least one resident per program is selected to present.
